Justice Minister Submits Asset Declaration to Anti-Corruption Commission

Lebanon's Justice Minister, Adel Nassar, submitted a declaration of his assets to the National Anti-Corruption Commission on Friday morning.

Under an October 2020 law, all Grade One, Two, and Three civil servants, elected politicians, and any civil servants whose work has financial implications are required to declare their assets and financial interests. These declarations are subject to audit by both judicial authorities and the newly established National Anti-Corruption Commission which is tasked with overseeing asset declarations and investigating any discrepancies, in line with the 2020 asset declaration and illicit enrichment law.
